Hello everyone, another new one here. I found this place a short time ago and decided to sign up. There isn't much support near me besides my therapist so I figured I'd have to look online. Pinkfluff has been my alias/callsign for awhile, sometimes shortened to "Pink" or "Fluff". Perhaps somewhat ironically, I don't dress or act in a very frilly, traditionally feminine way, though I don't think of myself as butch either.
I don't call myself transgendered because to me it's just a medical condition I have to deal with. I never really liked the terms "MTF" or "pass" either, for mostly the same reason. I know it's not the same way that other people may see things, but I tend to have my own definitions, theories and procedures for just about everything, especially about myself!
I'm currently an unemployed engineer and recently graduated with a Master's degree. I've been looking for work for awhile now. I'm not sure whether it's the economy or discrimination that is keeping me out of work, perhaps both. I've been all over the country on interviews, but haven't gotten any offers yet. I sometimes worry that they count me out just based on appearance, though nobody's said anything to that effect. Can't help but wonder though...
Well it certainly looks like there's alot of information and discussion here. Hopefully I can make a few friends too!
